Krygyz 10 months ago	2	wow...i just find this abysmal. not to say it's necessarily bad for all, but just ew. i prefer and recommend geany over this.
RC404 3 years ago	4	Good application, should still be easier to use...
libtekhed 3 years ago	2	Linus is right
jahid_0903014 3 years ago	4	This is a good text editor
Hammer459 4 years ago	5	There is only one editor! Emacs has been my favourite for over 30 years
mh2o 4 years ago	4	At first it appears to be complicated but it is worth the effort
alflanagan 4 years ago	5	You can find a better editor for a particular programming language. You won't find a better one if you use multiple languages.
snegtul 4 years ago	1	Dude no, use VIM instead. Emacs is evil and will give you ass cancer.
florianseltsam 5 years ago	5	Toller Texteditor!
amzer_zo 5 years ago	5	There's a learning curve but it's awesome (fetch version 24 on Synaptic)
sujitnag 6 years ago	5	powerful
cnevis 6 years ago	5	make the terminal Awesome
ali20 6 years ago	3	hard
tom-vn 6 years ago	3	it's hard to use for newbie as me
_deepfire 6 years ago	5	slime, org-mode, supports everything under the sun -- with common, but customizable keybindings, extensible and thoroughly hypertextual.. what could _possibly_ be better?
mysoomro 6 years ago	3	it's a so so app..
stormhike 6 years ago	5	First app I install in a new distribution. If you write code, it's worth the effort to learn.
dengulebaron 6 years ago	4	When will emacs 24 arrive?
Time 6 years ago	5	Once you know how to properly use Emacs, anything else feels very substandard.
agsom 6 years ago	5	A lot more than just an editor. It's amazing the variety of things you can do with Emacs, give it a try.
gmszone 6 years ago	5	more is less,powerful and useful
ulysses 7 years ago	4	In the old days for me indispensable.
dalcde 7 years ago	5	Very useful text editor
Pat_ 7 years ago	5	Takeing a side doesn't mean you want the war, I hope
semuve72 7 years ago	5	Amazing
perepe 7 years ago	5	The best
trollboy 7 years ago	3	It's all right but there are many better editors
changsijay 7 years ago	5	great!!
farnaby 8 years ago	2	Well... if you want a geeky editor, why not use vim?
jasonjohnwells 8 years ago	5	a text editor that is just about its own OS. Org-mode is the the geekiest way to customize GTD with plain text. Built in scripts to manage TODOs and time tracking within an outline so the actions are within the context
ReckouNT 8 years ago	1	Outdated. even gedit much more better
hellangel 8 years ago	3	sooooooooooso~!
Le_Pat 8 years ago	5	Simply the best.
asedt 8 years ago	5	Learnd to use Emacs in scool programming C++/Lisp/ADA or anything else, it's ASUM, but for smaller edits I often use NANO in terminal or gedit.
hexram 8 years ago	5	I just can't live without it
defcon 8 years ago	5	extrem umfangreich, aber sehr gut
sigma-ml 8 years ago	5	Great text editor! From time to time I do try other editors. But, inevitably, I keep returning to Emacs.
awshidahak 8 years ago	5	Emacs is one of the best editors that I've run across, simply because it is so extensible. If you are used to emacs but familiar with vim, you can emable viper-mode to get similar keybindings.
ozos 8 years ago	5	Best editor
bugz 8 years ago	5	Good highly customizable editor can be dramatically extended by eLisp scripts
kael 8 years ago	5	Like Eurochriskelly said, steep learning curve, but once you know it, you can do almost anything in it.
eurochriskelly 8 years ago	5	Steep learning curve before it becomes worthwhile to use but worth the investment if you plan on sticking with programming for a few years. Not installed by default on most systems so learn vi (or nano) too!
NicolasRobidoux 8 years ago	5	Powerful, efficient and complex
silver 8 years ago	5	A remarkable tool which also edits text like nobody's business.
linXea 8 years ago	5	emacs, best you can get as far as I am concerned
ledjin 8 years ago	5	Good editor. But I use both emacs and vim.
L0r3nz0 8 years ago	5	Just the best!
uzumaki 8 years ago	5	Best editor!
